Upward Health

Upward Health is an in-home medical group that specializes in primary medical, behavioral, and social healthcare for individuals with complex needs. We deliver care in the community. We reduce barriers to care, such as long delays due to scheduling or lengthy commutes to a provider’s office by meeting the patient right at home. We see patients when they need us, for as much time as they need. Beyond medical and behavioral care, we also assist our patients with challenges that may affect their health, such as food insecurity, social isolation, housing needs, transportation and more.
